NJ XWsll GRANT DECISION.

Washington, April 19.--To its
decree on the Maxwell Grant matter,
yesterday, the Supreme Court APP
pended some general instructions to
the lower courts upon the nature
and Importance Of land patents that
will do much to clear away the fog
that has surrounded the instrument,
both in the Executive Department
and in the courts. While it affirms
emphatically the right and jurisdic-
ton of the Court to investigate and
grant relief when the issue of q
patent has been based upon fraud
or mistake, it draws the attention Of
the courts to the fact that q patent
is the highest evidence of title, as
well against the United States as
against private individual. Its
effect upon the rulings of the In
terror Department in land matters is
thus stated by one Of the principal
law clerks of the Attorney-Generals
office, whose duty it is to write a
decision for the Secretary's sigma
ture and to Recommend the bring
ing of suits for annulment Of patents.
1t will not change greatly our course
Of proceeding here, for this office has
at all times been exceedingly careful
in its recommendation for suits of
this character. Patents cannot be
attacked upon trivial charges or
mere reports by special agents. We
require the affidavit of special agents
and we require the aflidavits of at
least two reputable witnesses to n
charge of fraud before we will re-
commend suit to be set aside. 1t
is true that the General Land Office
holds that any technical violation of
law constitutes fraud, and insists
that transfer of land if discovered
afterward is ample testimony upon
which to base suit to set aside a
patent. The department does not
agree with that, however, and on no
such evidence would it recommend
such a suit. This is one of the
reasons why suits to set aside
patents held by lumber and iron
companies charged with acquiring
land through settlement by an indi-
vidual cannot be successfully main
tanned. We are governed here by
the rulings of the Supreme Court in
the case of Meyers VS.. Cruit, 10
Wallace, Revised Statutes, Section
POI, in which the Court held that
the transfer of land upon even the
day of final proof Of transfer, proved
up with clean hands, must convey a
title which can never be attacked.
This has been the basis of our ac-
ton. While the Courts decision in
the Maxwell case will not change
our course of action, it will do much
to enhance the sacredness of patents
and discourage attacks upon titles.

THE CONSULAR SERVICE,

In Russia we have II consular
officers, only 2 of whom are citizens
of or owe allegiance to the United
States. In Austria we have 10 con-
sular representatives, ) of them
native or naturalized citizens. In
France there are "A consular officers
of the United States, % of them
Americans. In Germany there are
&C cousuls and consular agents, 2G
of them citizens of the country
whose flag they fly. In Italy, out
of Al consular representatives of
the United States, only ID have
been from this country. In Spain,
out of 80 American consuls and con-
sular agents, only 13 are citizens of
the United States, and many of our
consuls there are unable to speak
any language but Spanish. In Tur-
key we have 80 representatives, Z
of them Americans. Should trouble
arise with Great Britain, where one
would think there would be the
least difficulty in finding an Ameri-
can representing American COM
mercial interests, it appears,
from recent report of Consul
General Waller of London, that
'there are now in the consular
corps of Great Britain and Ireland
l16 men-34 Americans and 80
Englishmen," Consul-General Wal
Ter adds: ''Ihc reason that so
small proportion of the consular
places in this country is held by
Americans undoubtedly is that the
compensation such places now offer
Is entirely too small to induce COM
petent Americans to leave their
country to enter the service"
Should turmoil arise in Canada
the condition of the service there
is still worse. There are 90 I'M
naturalized Canadians and English
men flying the United States flag in
the Canadian provinces out of to-
tai force of about 150.- Washing

The Shaker Dance.

The expression on the faces of the
men and women was not solemn, but
preoccupied, religious and absorbed.
1t was evident that this dancing and
palm gesturing is subordinate to gen
eral system of suiting the action to the
word, which is destined to emphasize
the poetry of sentiment by adding to
it the poetry of motion. Hence, when
the visiting elderess from Mt. Lebanon
told the congregation that her associate
elderess was detained and could not
come, but sent her love to them, Elder
Avery remarked: "Let us all gather
in our sisters love" Thereupon the
entire congregation threw out their
palms and returned them with a waving
motion toward their hearts, each one
whispering, 1--WE gather in our sisters
love" repeating the gesture several
times, but all in unison.
The combined dancing, bowling,
gesturing and palm waving does sue
coed in absorbing more of the attention
of those who participate in it, and is
more of a drill in social unity, than
mere singing. 1t adds to the unitiZing
power of singing some of the good-fel-
lowship which is encouraged and ere
ated by military drill.-Americdn

Early DAYS in Hawaii.

The traveller in the Hawaiian Isles,
witnessing some court ceremonials at
Honolulu, ut which the King and his
courtiers wear handsome American uni
forms, resplendent with gold lace and
orders, while the Queen and her ladies'
appear in full court dress, W th feathers
and sweeping trains of the most cor
rect buckingham palace cut white
satin embroidered in gold is in special
favor, finds il hard to realize that
these, and the reverent worshipers in
the cathedral church, are the self-same
race which received Captain Cook Wi h
such unsavory divine honors. Difficult,
indeed, it is to believe, says the 81.
James Gdzetts that only SO brief a
time ago the dusky maidens of this
people swan out to meet Cooks ships

might have heard the strangest stories

missionaries are endearinglv called OF
their first arrival In the isles in 1920,
before which time the Hawaiians were
worshipers of all manner of hideous
gods, to some of whom they offered
human sacrifice. How startled were
the ladies of the mission, fresh from
New England, when the King, having
previously signified his intention of
showing them honor by dining on board
their vessel, arrived in narrow waist
fringe, a crown of scarlet feathers, a
necklace of beads. and q green silk
scarf thrown over the shoulders. But
they were still further shocked when,
as soon as they were established in a
house on shore, they received repeated
visits from the King and his Fl te wives,
all completely naked. After awhile
the American ladies mustered courage
enough to drop hint on the subject,
whereupon the King, being exceed
ingly anxious to do the right thing,
called next morning attired in q pair
of silk stockings and q cooked hat.

Old Book Stores.

Old book stores are increasing in
number, and all seem to be thriving.
Some of them employ agents, who ran
sack towns within radius of 100 miles
of the metropolis, and very often with
rich results. Many an ancient cock
loft in country house is searched at
their instance, and sometimes a paper
or book of great value is discovered
and secured at ridiculoIsly low
figure. Old newspapers, engravings,
political cartoons, almanacs, and bound
volumes of records and public doc l.
ments are constantly turning up and
are eagerly bought by dealers. A
family whose history there antedates
the revolution recently came to tn S
city from Newburg, and the grand

Seeds That terminate Quickly.

The human system is n fruitful soil, and
among seeds that terminate most rapidly in
it are those Of rheumatism and neuralgia. A
slight cold, brought on by sitting in a draught,
wet feet or damp clothes, will develop either OF
those abominablc, painful maladios with I'M
pleasant rapidity The proper preventive Of
this agonizing vegetation is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, a medicine which nullihes a tendency
TO either of the maladies named, and soothes
the aches which they cause. Nor is it less eff
fective as a remedy for rheumatism than as its
preventive, n fact as amply attested as any 9TH

miners, frontiersmen, and others have ever

When Abraham Lincoln was clerk
in dry goods store he sold woman a
little bill of goods. amounting in value
by the reckoning to S2.064. He re-
ceived the money and the woman went
away. On adding the items of the bill
again to make himself sure of correct
ness, he found that he had taken Il
cents too much. 1t was night, but
closing and locking the store, he start
ed out on foot, distance of two or
three miles, for the house of his de-

to her the sum whose possession had

Women do not attend funerals in
Mexico. 1t is against the rules of so

they cry too much. A wife cannot go
to husbands funeral, nor can a moth
er follow her babe to the grave. One
of the pretticst customs in Mexico is
the universal respect which greets a
